Will Smith slaps reporter who tries to kiss him

Will smith
Popular culture
19 May, 2012

I watched an interview that Lorraine did with Will Smith on Daybreak on Friday morning. Lorraine commented on how nice Will was and how she wished more stars were like him.

He is a nice guy but even nice guys lose their cool sometimes.




Smith was caught on camera slapping a reporter who kissed him on the mouth. Oops!

The reporter walked up to Smith on the red carpet and tried to hug him first, then kissing him on both cheeks before trying for the lips. Smith responded with a backhanded slap to the face, angrily asking, “Come on man, what the hell is your problem?”

Apparently the Ukrainian born reporter is known for playing pranks on celebrities.
